It was bad: https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/p...ge_mmthumb.jpg It is still evolving, but working on better habits and improving every day: https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/p...0b_mmthumb.jpg The Fiero is getting a full transplant. I got a wrecked Buick Rendezvous ($300 Copart bid) with a good 3.5L LX9 engine. Stock it has about 200 hp and leaves room in the budget for my nitrous system for the drag race in the GRM $2,000 Challenge. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1642776815.jpg I plan to put the LX9 in the car next week for an initial fitting. Not a popular swap, but it has been done before a few times. For now I'm staying with the auto transmission and ECU from the Buick. |
...and the Fiero 'race car' is sitting waiting for me to choose a path to get the wider Buick transmission to work in the Fiero: Longer control arms, shorter shafts, fabricated cradle, or use the Fiero transmission? I think I'm going to do longer control arms with the Fiero cradle.
Meanwhile I fixed a few issues with the CR-V and travelled the icy roads to do the 'Texas Carnado 2022'. I really enjoy the Gambler 500 events; fun people and a wide range of cars from complete junk that has no business on the road, to a few high $$$ off-road rigs. The CR-V was totaled twice in the past, but I still feel like I'm cheating taking it to these 'Rallys'. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hcMUqRGkFpo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1732304d_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...620523a1_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...72229904_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8b85fe40_b.jpg |
